January issue of the ECA Journal
The January edition of the ECA Journal has as special theme: the ECA Work Programme
The Journal brings articles and interviews to provide insights on what the making of the ECA’s work programme entails: what work hides behind the compact and concise 2018 ECA Work Programme? What does the ECA try to achieve with its work programme? Which input, both internally and externally, is used to create it and which process is used to streamline all this information into the work programme as published and presented on 16 January 2018 to the European Parliament? And what are the reactions of the European Parliament as one of ECA’s main stakeholders?
